Arjowiggins Graphic and Antalis have today launched a new campaign to showcase the superb colour capabilities of recycled paper. The campaign will see 2,500 brand books from Hakkasan Group’s Ling Ling bar and club concept distributed to printers, designers and corporates highlighting the excellent print capabilities of Cyclus Offset and Antalis’ Digigreen Gloss.

The award winning brand books, designed by North, were originally created to support the global launch of the naughtier and more vivacious sister to Hakkasan restaurants, Ling Ling. Designed to represent the unique and hedonistic atmosphere of Ling Ling, the design featured stand-out bright and beautiful photography, 10 different covers and five different spines with variable text and a high level of vibrant colour.

The book covers have been printed on Digigreen Gloss 350gsm while inside pages feature Cyclus Offset 100% recycled 140gsm. The campaign, which incorporates digital promotion and PR and also features substantial direct mail, with each book accompanied by a personalised card of eight different designs printed on Cyclus Offset 300gsm.

On paper selection, Jeremy Coysten from North Design says: “For the original print run for Ling Ling we used a high gloss laminated cover to achieve a high-end fashion magazine feel, with Cyclus Offset selected for the inside because of its remarkable print performance which allowed us to keep the richness and colour really punchy. The challenge was applying binding tapes to the spine as the glue wasn’t sticking to the gloss lamination so the printer had to sand back the gloss laminate by hand. To overcome the problem for this longer print run we used Digigreen gloss for the cover”.

The book, which was printed by FE Burman using their HP Indigo presses, won Best in Digital Print at the Antalis Review in 2016.

The reprinted radiant books are an excellent demonstration of the high quality colour results recycled materials can achieve. Paul Regan, Director of FE Burman, says: “The mix of print quality of both Digigreen and Cyclus Offset and also the efficiency and technology of the HP Indigo presses, has enabled us to produce a product of excellent quality and colour vibrancy”.

Angela DeVorchik, Operational Marketing Manager, Arjowiggins Graphic UK, says: “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to re-print the award-winning Ling Ling book, and are very proud of the performance of Cyclus Offset in such a demanding colour print project. We’re excited to share the re-printed book with printing and design experts, and to demonstrate the stunning results achieved when using recycled materials in vibrant and colourful printing”

Mike Bennett, Marketing Manger, Antalis UK says: “This is an exceptionally well designed and printed book that truly reflects the character of the brand and how it appeals to its core audience. We’re really pleased with the role our paper plays in achieving the overall quality of the printed product”

Conversion will Support Customer Growth and Enhance System Flexibility

International Paper has just announced plans to invest approximately $300 million to convert its No. 15 paper machine at the Riverdale Mill in Selma, Ala. from uncoated freesheet to high quality whitetop linerboard and containerboard. The conversion is targeted to be completed by mid-year 2019. The investment will add 450,000 tons of annual capacity, with flexibility to shift between containerboard products.

Converting Riverdale No. 15 will position International Paper to grow its Industrial Packaging business, continue to provide attractive jobs to Riverdale team members and remain a significant supplier of uncoated freesheet in North America.

"Our customers expect us to support their growth and this machine conversion will meet their needs," said Tim Nicholls, IP's senior vice president, Industrial Packaging the Americas. "Our Industrial Packaging business continues to focus on our customers in strategic channels including our box business, domestic and export containerboard and specialty grades."

Nicholls added its Industrial Packaging mill system allows the business to optimize product mix, increase service and reduce costs. "Our system runs most effectively when there is flexibility, and this conversion will also help us define a more streamlined and balanced system overall."

As a result of the machine conversion, the company will reduce its annual uncoated freesheet capacity by 235,000 tons. The remaining machine at the Riverdale Mill will continue to produce uncoated imaging paper products.

"International Paper's uncoated freesheet business remains a strategic part of the company and we are well positioned to support current and future customer demand," said Mike Amick, Jr., IP's senior vice president, Paper the Americas & India. "This investment proactively repositions Riverdale No. 15 to serve our growing packaging business, while enabling us to optimize our North American Papers business."

With FilmLube, Voith is offering a new kind of moistening principle for press felts upstream of the Uhle box. An integrated lubrication gap directly in front of the Uhle box ensures optimum application of water over the entire width of the machine. This protects the felt, ensures a more even CD cross profile and reduces water consumption by avoiding spray mist in the vicinity of the machine. As a result, the safety of machine operators is improved.

More uniform CD moisture profiles, a consistently high felt performance over a record lifetime and the reduction of mist: These were the results achieved by a customer of Voith during the first practical application of the new FilmLube on a tissue machine.

Previously the customer had used low pressure fan showers for lubricating the felts. However, their nozzles got blocked by dirt easily, preventing uniform moistening of the press felt. As a result of partial heating on the Uhle box, the felt could not perform as designed.

Instead of single nozzles that tend to block, FilmLube features an integrated lubricating gap over the entire width of the machine. This allows an even film application that prevents damage to the felt from hot Uhle box surfaces and reduces CD profile variations. Because the water is applied directly, this also avoids spray losses and cuts water consumption. Generally, on a single-width tissue machine, FilmLube uses less than 1.5 m³ water an hour. The targeted application of water ensures that less lubricating water collects next to the machine, reducing the risk of slipping and making work on the machine safer. The integrated lubricating gap also simplifies maintenance and cleaning of FilmLube.

Above all, Voith's FilmLube also reduces the uneven abrasion of the felt, because moistening upstream of the Uhle box prevents its hot surfaces from damaging the material. In a worst case scenario, such damage – e.g. felt fiber breakage – leads to residues in the paper that necessitate a reduction of the felt lifetime and a variation of the felt changing cycles for individual felt positions. Voith has designed FilmLube so that it can be retrofitted to almost all commonly used Uhle boxes.
